What's wrong?
The front left door latch on a 2017 Volvo S60L is the mechanical lock that holds the door closed against the body. When the door shuts, the latch grips the striker and keeps the door secured until someone pulls the handle to release it.
On affected S60L vehicles, extreme hot-climate exposure over time can weaken a small retention hook for the pawl spring inside the latch. That spring helps the latch return and hold its locked position. If the hook breaks while the door is being opened or closed, the door does not latch properly and can bounce back instead of staying shut.
Owners have reported difficulty closing the door. If the door is not fully latched and the driver or passenger misses it, the open-door warning light illuminates in the Driver Information Module.
